We continue to be spectators!


Once again we were just spectators today, sitting on the sidelines, watching what God is doing. It is just a miracle!

A man stood and shared how his mother and father were saved from a spiritualist background. He said he accepted the Lord soon thereafter. But by the age of 15 he began to run with the wrong crowd and was soon addicted to crack and heroin. He would see his mother agonizing over him in prayer while he was sneaking out to party. Soon he was high and would forget that he ever saw his mother.

After 11 different accidents in cars and motorcycles, several overdoses, and a crime that gave him 3 life sentences, he found himself in prison, without parole. His mother would tell him she was praying for him. She would encourage him to pray himself. From time to time he prayed and read his Bible, but always seemed to return to the things of the world. He even attended a Bible study in Spanish several years ago, but the study leader only stayed a few weeks and never returned.

Then, as he says it, "God sent us this white Christian couple to teach us about the Word of God in Spanish." He went on to say, “I am saved by the blood of Jesus and I praise God for this weekly Bible study that helps me to grow and live for Him."

Then he sang his mom’s favorite song, ‘Divine Friend’. Here are some of the words:
"Stay with me, Lord. It’s getting late. Don’t leave me alone! I offer you my heart to worship you. Accept my worship, accept my worship, OH Lord! Help me till I arrive home.”

We just praise God for what He is doing! As we’ve said before, we are just amazed!
